Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.”
(James 3:13)

Once again I’m reminded, Jesus:

Talk is cheap.

It’s not enough that I know the truth.

I have to live it!

If it’s truth I’m living

I won’t be boastful or proud.
I’ll be grateful and humble.

That’s the good life to which You’ve called me –

one that’s safe for others to follow.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him…”
(Colossians 2:6)

You didn’t promise, Jesus

that those who claim to believe in You will be saved.

It’s one thing to claim it
a totally different thing to live it.

You’ve declared that those who endure to the end

are those who will be saved.

I’ve made my start with You.

I intend to stay true to You
till my final breath.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.”
(1 John 2:20)

At first, that sounds so encouraging, Jesus –

and it is.

I’m thoroughly, totally, absolutely equipped to succeed!

But at second look, it scares me to death.

I do know the truth…

which makes me responsible to live it.

I can’t plead ignorance.

So maybe I’d better plead for Your mercy, grace and power

to do what I know to do.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard…”
(John 1:40)

Am I, LORD?

Have I heard?

With you, Jesus, working ears isn’t the issue.

Neither is being in the crowd
where Your Word is preached.

It’s not being able to quote it
nor discussing what was said.

I haven’t truly heard until I’ve obeyed it

been challenged to disavow it
and refused

been tempted to desert You
and stood firm.

Only then

have I truly heard.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser focus:

“But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.”
(James 1:25)

So let me get this straight, Jesus:

If I intend to experience sweet success
I dare not read my Bible aimlessly.

Instead, You want me to read it with singleness of purpose –
to discover exactly how You want me to live

then live it.
